Agni (esoteric birth of Agni in the Mother; common Vedic theme: Agni born in waters/wood/earth)
Tristubh (probable)
Is mantra mein Agni ko bulaya gaya hai. Yeh batata hai ki Agni maa ke andar chupa tha. Usne dhakke mein tha, phir prakat hua. Agni ka roshni wala bal hai jo logon ko badhata hai. Yeh sampatti bhi badhata hai. Agni hawa aur raakh ke saath ghoonta hai. Apni taakat ko tez karta hai kaam ke liye.
Mantras
Mantra 1
अभ्यवस्थाः प्र जायन्ते प्र वव्रेर्वव्रिश्चिकेत । उपस्थे मातुर्वि चष्टे ॥
Jab koi cheez dhaki hui hoti hai, woh paida hoti hai. Chupi hui cheez ko pata chalta hai. Maa ki god mein woh apna asli roop dikhata hai.
Mantra 2
जुहुरे वि चितयन्तोऽनिमिषं नृम्णं पान्ति । आ दृळ्हां पुरं विविशुः ॥
Log bhagwan ko samajhte hain aur use apnaate hain. Woh us shakti ko sambhaalte hain jo kabhi nahi thakti. Woh ek mazboot kile mein ghus gaye hain.
Mantra 3
आ श्वैत्रेयस्य जन्तवो द्युमद्वर्धन्त कृष्टयः । निष्कग्रीवो बृहदुक्थ एना मध्वा न वाजयुः ॥
Shvaitreya ke liye log aur unki shakti badh rahi hai. Woh log jo kheti karte hain, woh bhi badh rahe hain. Sonay ka haar pehne hue, badi awaaz mein bolne wala, woh madh jaisa meetha hai. Woh poora khushhaal hai.
Mantra 4
प्रियं दुग्धं न काम्यमजामि जाम्योः सचा । घर्मो न वाजजठरोऽदब्धः शश्वतो दभः ॥
Jaise pyara doodh, jaise koi cheez jo sabko pasand aaye, woh apne logon mein paida hota hai. Jaise gharma, woh khana aur khushhali se bhara hai. Usne kisi ko dhokha nahi diya. Woh hamesha kaam karta hai, kabhi nahi rukta.
Mantra 5
क्रीळन्नो रश्म आ भुवः सं भस्मना वायुना वेविदानः । ता अस्य सन्धृषजो न तिग्माः सुसंशिता वक्ष्यो वक्षणेस्थाः ॥
Yeh kiran khelte-khelde aayi hai. Hawa aur raakh ke saath mil gayi hai, sab jaan ke. Bhagwan ki taakat jaise tez hathiyar hai, bilkul taiz karke rakhi hai. Woh uthne ke jagah par taiyaar hai.
Frequently Asked Questions
It describes Agni as a hidden power that awakens from coverings and becomes visible, and it asks that this revealed light strengthen life, work, and prosperity.
The “Mother” can be the kindling source that holds Agni—such as wood, the waters, or the earth—and also a symbolic image for the womb of manifestation where hidden light becomes known.
Because the living fire is experienced as moving with breath/wind and surrounded by ash; the verse uses this to show Agni’s intelligent, dynamic energy as it ignites and becomes powerful in the ritual.
